Our top story this week: Time Inc. filed to lay off 280 people in New York, and some have already been notified. Know of anyone else who's now seeking a new gig? Let us know. Maybe we can help.

The comment of the week regards informational interviews over e-mail.

I don't know about the people who contacted that manager, but if I contacted someone for an informational interview, and they bumped me down to email because they were "too busy," I wouldn't bother contacting that manager either. I'd take my time to find someone who showed some interest. I'd also be a little turned off from their company.
